I would go with D. I feel that "rates" is redundant here.

Also,
among distinguished artists X is more prevalent than in Y
doesn't make sense. IMO, it should be either of the following..

among distinguished artists X is more prevalent than it is in the population at large.

or

among distinguished artists X is more prevalent when compared to the population at large.

IMO the manic depression and major depression are prevalent and not the rates..so that's why I did not go for rates..
